Hi All
I would like to control my new fancy Micro Maestro from a microcontroller.
I have checked out the command protocols here
pololu.com/docs/0J40/5.c
And am using a printf function from my microcontroller in c.
fprintf(com1, “255, 0, 140, 255, 1, 140, 255, 2, 140 \n\r”)
I am receiving this data
255, 0, 140, 255, 1, 140, 255, 2, 140
255, 0, 127, 255, 1, 127, 255, 2, 127
255, 0, 140, 255, 1, 140, 255, 2, 140
255, 0, 127, 255, 1, 127, 255, 2, 127
from the microcontroller through a USB to serial adapter to my pc.
The data is received at 9600bps.
When I plug the TX line of the microcontroller into the RX line of the maestro, I dont get any movement. I have tested the maestro via USB though to confirm that my servos work.
Am I doing something wrong with the command protocal or do I need a converter etc?
Thanks for all help!
